God's Love Gives Endurance

 I am sharing more than just a pretty table this Easter.  I'm sharing a poem my Mother wrote in 1977.   It is called, " God's Love Gives Endurance" and I think its sentiment speaks much about the love God has for each of us.  I hope you enjoy it!  

GOD'S LOVE GIVES ENDURANCE

©Marilyn Stubbs Robinson 1977

Unto each life torrential rains will fall

Rolling their grief-ladened clouds all about;

But, for each storm is a protecting wall

Of powerful strength in God's love enroute,

For there from His mighty throne upon high

Comes with them a majesty all God's own

Of grace and comfort for those who are nigh

The precious caring that His love has known.

In mercy He keeps each dark cloud of gloom

Unto His compassion which then is cast

Before each one who by faith will assume

Forbearance whenever His help is asked.

Life's storms seem foreboding without God's love,

Very close to the heart and near at hand;

But, they who trusting in Him from above

Find endurance though they not understand.

God promises to each of them who belong

Unto Himself through righteous belief,

That within each black cloud there is a song

Of merciful love and peaceful relief.

So; whenever you see the dark, storming days

Meeting you there at your front door,

Remember God's love has infinite ways,

Each broken heart with faith, to restore.

I wish you all a blessed day, and a Happy Easter.
